IMPROVEMENT IN TRAVERSE-MOTIONS FOR GUIDE-WIRES 0F SPINNING-MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 188,121, dated March 6, 1877; application filed January 26, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosEPH GARRETT, of Chester, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, have in vented a new Im provement of Traverse-Motions for Guide- Wires of Spinning-Machines, of which the following is a specification My invention consists of the wire-board traverse connected to the spider-shafts independently of the ring-rail, whereby its traverse-can be regulated at will, by which a more equal friction on the yarn can be maintained to make the twist more even, the labor less, and the wear on the rings'less.

Figure l is a side elevation of a portion of a spinning-frame with my improved traversemotion. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation taken on line as w of Fig. 3; and Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3 3 Fig. l.

A is the wire traverse-board, which I mount on the vertically-movable rods B, which I connect at their lower ends with the arms 0 of the spider shaft D, instead of connecting it to the ring-rail, as heretofore, whereby its traverse may be varied at will relatively to the traverse of the ring-rail, in such manner that the tension and friction on the yarn can be equalized. The rods B are connected to the arms in slots in the latter, whereby the traverse can be varied.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new is The wire-board traverse A of a spinningmachine, connected to the spider-shaft arms 0, to traverse independently of the ring-rail, substantially as specified.

JOSEPH GARRETT.
